Chichester singer-songwriter Lewis Bennett is eyeing up the big time after securing his place in the national final of Open Mic UK.

At the moment, 23-year-old Lewis is working as a carpenter – a career he’s hoping to leave behind him as his star soars.

After successfully negotiating auditions and the regional final, Lewis impressed the judges at the area final at the Ferneham Hall, Fareham, on Saturday to progress through to the grand final at the NEC in Birmingham on Saturday January 18 – one of just 20 or so acts from an initial entry of more than 10,000.
